'Phone 55Series \dsalhpX tyiih a ( question 'vJhicfz 'vi-duy affects every houcaivife..' !ieir men no matter what it 'costs.' , .Then, tod, at 1 the stroke of a pen, the great Russian Nation has Been turned into a tea drinking people, and the money previously spent on Vodka is now available for the purchase of tea But there is only a limited ■-up ply of tea and that snpplv is not ■mfheient to bti the present requirements. Hence at the tea auctions in Cevlon it has risen in price month by month, until to-day it costs the packer 2|d to Sd per lb. more than in August last. This, of course, affects New Zealand very greatly, for the finest tea in the world has been sold here at prices which cannot be ; squalled. . Although this' seems a 'bold statement, it is one that will bear the closest investigation. For instance, a great proportion of the tea imports to England consist of what is known as “red stalk"' tea, the lowest possible grade—so low that it is prohibited throughout Australasia. Yet even Tiffs lowest grade is sold in England, at 1/6 or more per lb., while for fine teas of the quality of "Amber Tips,” 2/8 to 3/4 per lb. is asked. Tea experts the world over are 'astonished sft the remarkable' quality, flavour, fragrance and value given in'" Amber Tips” at so low a mica, and it is because no better value can be obtained anywhere, that “Amber Tips” is to-day the moot popular brand in New Zealand, Millions of packets of “Ambers Tips” tire sold per annum. It is stocked in J every shop from the North Cape to the Bluff. Only exceptional value could be responsible'for so- exceptional a side But lino tea. is now costing the “Amber 'Tips' Propritmm. as well other tea merchants, an average of 2*d. to 3d, per lb. more than in' August, 1834. Therefore, if a fair price was, charged before the war, the tea merchant is to-day faced with an enormous toss 1 should he continue to pack the same quality at his old prices. Of court there is the alternative of cheapening the quality by an admixture of inferior, less healthful teas. The “Amber Tips” Proprietors were advised by many to do this, /but instead they decided to raise the price .by 2d. per lb., and to continue, to give the public that same splendid value which has always been associated with the name “Amber Tips.” __ Now, Mrs. Housewife, what in your opinion of.the y, hole matter? , ’Mouldyou Tath's'r iiuvo tlil/sauiu delightful flavour, quality, purity and 'value and pay a penny a i-Ur packet more—or would you rather have "an inferior and less healthful tea at the old price ? But you say “other teas have not been raised in prices.” if so you can readily see that either excessive prices were charged before the war—so excessive • that even an-• extra 2 id. or El.-in cost pcr lb. still enables-a profit to be made —or quality must be reduced; othera heavy Josm must ba faced. But oven at increased figures Amber Tips is still the cheapest tea you cvn buy. Cup for cup, value for value, nothing eke can equal it, while It is no pure and healthful (hut if. can be taken by even those of the weakest digestion. Barely these facts should weigh wi h yon. Consider them carefully—write &, d tell us your conclusions. Wo belie re that yon want quality and that you, want value. For that reason we have raised our prices because only by doing so era wo combine to give you the same honest quality and the same honest vaAm j-q ““ ~~ """ 1 A.LLrtiAiw'». ji.S .....
